Hello, I know how to create analytical rapresentation of deformable body native in Abaqus CAE.
I need to know how to create a similar rapresentation with orphan mesh.
Thank you

...for example, how could I define appropriately the contact between two coaxial cylinder deformable bodies, one meshed with hexa elements and the other with tetra10 elements?

I mean, how could I obtain smoothing contact surfaces in Abaqus if I have an orphan mesh?

RE: Analytical description of deformable contact body

Other than flat surfaces, no surfaces are smooth as they all follow the mesh. You select the contact surfaces either by geometry, or by mesh. Both use the meshed surfaces in the contact procedure.
